Introduction

SiMPNiC’s S1 Gateway is typically designed to meet the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) Ethernet
requirements. This reliable solution provides the security mechanism to prevent your network from
malicious attacks.

1.1 Overview of S1

With the cutting-edge technology, SiMPNiC delivers a managed Layer 2 gateway, S1, for IoT_based
services in the home automation. Through the Z-Wave transmission between the provided sensors
and this gateway, the users can remotely turn on/off the electrical appliances, monitor the status of
plugs/windows/doors, and so on anytime and anywhere using the SiMPNiC app we develop.

The LED indicator located on the top panel eases the users’ effort to monitor and manage the
network status. In addition, you can easily mount it with the wall-mount bracket we provide as well.
